The cigar lighter is located in the front portion of the floor console. To use the lighter, push it in completely. When the lighter is hot, it will release itself from contact with the heating element. The lighter and the heating element can be damaged if the lighter is not allowed to release itself fully from the heating element.

The ashtray is located below the audio system. To access the ashtray, pull it out from the center console. The ashtray lamp will go ON when the parking lamps or the headlamps are turned ON.

The center and the side vents in the instrument panel can be adjusted up and down and from side to side. The side vents can also be aimed toward the side windows in order to defog them.

The glove box can be opened by pulling up on the latch handle. The glove box must be removed in order to gain access to the passenger's side air bag module.

The digital clock is located in the instrument panel, above the audio system. The clock is capable of a 12-hour or a 24-hour display.

The instrument cluster is located above the steering column and in the instrument cluster trim panel. The instrument cluster contains the instruments that provide the driver with vehicle performance information. The instrument cluster contains a speedometer, an odometer, a trip odometer, a temperature gage, a fuel gage, and several indicator lamps. For replacement of the indicator lamp bulbs contained in the instrument cluster, refer to Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement.

The speedometer measures the speed of the vehicle in km/h (mph). It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the transaxle output shaft.

The odometer measures in kilometers (miles) the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft.

The trip odometer measures the distance the vehicle has traveled since the odometer was last reset. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft. The trip odometer can be reset to zero at any time so that the driver can record the distance traveled from any starting point.

The fuel gage consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to a sending unit in the fuel tank.

The fuel gage indicates the quantity of fuel in the tank only when the ignition switch is turned to ON or ACC. When the ignition is turned to LOCK or START, the pointer may come to rest at any position.

The temperature gage consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to a temperature sensor that is in contact with the circulating engine coolant.

The temperature gage indicates the temperature of the coolant. Prolonged driving or idling in very hot weather may cause the pointer to move beyond the center of the gage. The engine is overheating if the pointer moves into the red zone at the upper limit of the gage.

The engine oil pressure switch is a normally closed switch that opens with the proper oil pressure. With the ignition switch turned ON and the engine not running, ignition voltage is supplied to the oil pressure indicator, the oil pressure switch will be closed and the indicator will be grounded. With the engine running, the pressure switch opens and the indicator will turn off.

The instrument cluster contains indicator lamps that indicate the function of certain systems or the existence of potential problems with the operation of the vehicle. The indicator lamps are replaceable. For replacement of the indicator lamps contained in the instrument cluster, refer to Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement.

Because the conventional electric systems, in which simple timers, relays and individual control units are used, have separate circuits for each system, they require a lot of components as well as complex wiring. The Smart Junction Box (SJB) integrates all these type of complex units.
